Yuan Shikai did not hold Wang Yongan back at this time, originally in June, the Bank of Communications was going to announce the plan to acquire the shares of the Industrial Bank of China, but it was temporarily suspended because Wang Yongan sent troops to Mexico again. However, they may not be in a hurry to announce that after Wang Yongan sold his shares completely, the remaining minority shareholders were also bought and sold all their shares, so Bank of Communications could make a fortune quietly.

When Wang Yongan led his army through Wuhan again, the British unexpectedly did not trouble them, and they had already received the news that Wang Yongan had transferred the army and left Hongguo, which could be said to have relieved them to the British.

Although Inspector Harding, the British Governor in India, hated Wang Yongan and his army, and even called them the devil's army, and protested to the Chinese government one after another, the British invaded Xizang in the name of the people, so the British could only protest under the pretext of protecting British tourists, but not in the name of any government. In fact, the British certainly know what is going on, and this is not a hard-to-hard game between China and Britain, but a decision made by Indian Governor Inspector Harding in order to increase his political achievements.

Baron Charles Harding is the grandson of Henry Harding, who served as Governor-General of India from 1844 to 1848, Henry Harding was a famous British soldier and statesman who participated in the Napoleonic Wars, served as British War Secretary twice, and commanded the First Sikh War when he was Viceroy of India, turning the Kingdom of Punjab into the Fallen State of Punjab. After Henry Harding's triumphant return, he commanded the Crimean War as commander of the British Army, but the British suffered defeat in the Crimean War due to improper use of personnel, which ended his political career. Henry's grandson, Hals Harding, was appointed Governor of India by Edward VII only because of his wealth.

Charles Harding just arrived in India, he did something that made the world jaw-dropping, because the former Indian governor George Curzon used massacres to suppress India when he ruled India, resulting in Charles Harding was repeatedly resisted and assassinated by Indians after his arrival, so Halharding moved the capital of India to New Delhi. Charles Harding ran New Delhi with the more obedient British Indian Muslims, but this did not make him safer, and on his first day in office, Charles was bombed.

And this time, after the failure of Charles Harding's plan to send troops to Xizang, it triggered a chain reaction in the country.

From the beginning of the year, the British base camp began to withdraw soldiers from India and return to the mainland in preparation for a confrontation with the Germans, and British Field Marshal Hague believed that Britain would wage a punitive land war against Germany if necessary. Previously, Britain had 50,000 troops stationed in India, but Marshal Haig had transferred 11,000 troops since the beginning of the year and another 8,000 last month.

The Sikhs in the Punjab took advantage of the massive redeployment of their troops to attack the British barracks and then launched an uprising. Wang Yongan's withdrawal from the Kangzang area actually relieved Charles, and if the Chinese at this time cooperated with the Indian resistance, it would put the British in trouble.

In his opinion, the trouble caused by this Wang Yongan to Britain is too great, but the British do not have the energy to take care of this "Monkey King" jumping up and down, kick him to the American continent, let him go to war with the group of Mexican savages, and when the British have energy, they will clean up this Chinese troublemaker.

The "support" of the British made Wang Yongan's plan to send troops very smoothly, and after passing through Wuhan, the army went down the river and arrived in Shanghai five days later. However, they ran into a small trouble in this matter, and Fang Xianwu's army did not arrive in Shanghai as planned.

Wang Yongan immediately sent people to look for the Seventh Division, but he got the news that Fang Xianwu's army did not leave Yangzhou, at this time he vaguely felt that something was wrong, could it be that Fang Xianwu betrayed him?

In the evening, Wang Yongan finally received a telegram from Fang Xianwu, explaining that the officers and men of the 7th Division were unwilling to leave China and Yangzhou.

Wang Yongan was suddenly struck by lightning, and the Seventh Division completely betrayed itself and betrayed the Jiangbei Department. The huge loss in his heart made him speechless for a while, the plan was that the Seventh Division was the main army to go to Mexico this time, but at this time, it seemed that the Seventh Division was not willing to give up the current good life, whether it was officers or soldiers, they were used to the prosperity and stability of Yangzhou.

Yes, under the management of Wang Yongan, the city of Yangzhou is already one of the most advanced cities in China, and has become one of the three major flower capitals in China along with Tianjin and Shanghai. During the reign of Wang Yongan, Yangzhou was electrified, with China's first street lamp, China's first cinema, and even China's first civil power company, and the people living inside and outside Yangzhou were as high as 500,000 people.

Fang Xianwu's thoughts are not complicated, it is true that he is one of the cores of the Jiangbei system, but it does not mean that he is willing to suffer and fight again. Living in the bustling Yangzhou and becoming the emperor of Yangzhou for two years, Fang Xianwu has changed a lot of ideas. Some people can only share joys and sorrows, not wealth and prosperity, Fang Xianwu is such a person.

The reason he gave himself was also very good, because he was a native of Yangzhou, and he knew that once he led the Seventh Division to leave the prosperous Yangzhou, he would not know that it would be the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue to return. After being the emperor of the soil for two years, Fang Xianwu was unwilling to suffer anymore, and he was even more unwilling to give Yangzhou to others - not to mention the people of Beiyang, even to Wang Yongan, he was unwilling.

In Wang Yongan's heart, he always believed that the Jiangbei Department was a very cohesive collective, but that was because the entire Jiangbei Department condensed to compete with the Beiyang Department for power and profit, and for everyone to compete for happiness. The success has always made Wang Yongan too confident, too confident in his own charm, and too confident in his own control. The biggest mistake he made was to abolish the secret service agency and fully grant the autonomy of every Jiangbei general, which triggered Li Shirui's ambition and Fang Xianwu's betrayal.

Fortunately, Li Shirui was controlled by Wang Yongan in time, and he had not seen Fang Xianwu for two years, so he also lost the control of Fang Xianwu.

Fang Xianwu is not Wang Yongan's pawn and puppet, he is also a person with flesh and blood and his own ideas, and he is also an elite of the times, he is not showing Wang Yongan the chassis, in the past two years, he has regarded Yangzhou as his own territory.
